X-Men was a long-overdue dream come true for fans like me who had followed the team for years. Seeing the characters, the Mansion, and the world of mutants brought to life in a live-action film felt nothing short of surreal. The casting was outstanding—Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, and the rest of the ensemble immediately embodied their roles in a way that felt authentic and respectful to the source material. The film laid the groundwork for what would become a major franchise, and even though the story itself was a bit on the weak side, the thrill of finally seeing the X-Men on screen carried it effortlessly. Nostalgia filled in the gaps, and the movie’s tone, character introductions, and world-building more than compensated for any narrative shortcomings.
As a starting point for the series, X-Men was great—an exciting, heartfelt, and promising beginning to a new era of superhero cinema.
